I am so happy to be reviewing a cookbook that I have been looking forward to for a long time now: The Picky Palate Cookbook from Jenny Flake. Jenny’s blog is one that I have been reading for just about as long as I have been blogging. I’ve made several of her recipes over the years, and was thrilled when I found out that she would have her own cookbook released. I’ve had my copy for a few weeks now, and I honestly have to say that I have loved it.
I chose to make her Cinnamon, White Chocolate, and Coconut Oatmeal Cookies.
Overall thoughts – I love this cookbook. I can’t wait to cook more from it. The recipes are ones that my family would love, and I love how easy and quick the recipes are. There are so many recipes that I can’t wait to try!!
Ingredients
- Coconut Oil: This was my first time using coconut oil in cookies, and I’m a total convert now! It makes the cookies so soft.
- Sugar: You will need both white sugar and light brown sugar.
- Eggs: You need 2 large eggs. For best results, make sure they are at room temperature.
- Vanilla: A good vanilla extract is really worth it. The flavor will be much better.
- Flour: I use unbleached, all-purpose flour.
- Oats: The recipe calls for rolled oats, aka old fashioned oats. You could probably make these with quick oats, but it will change the texture of your cookies.
- Baking Soda: This is for rise and texture.
- Salt: This is for flavor and texture.
- Coconut: I use sweetened, shredded coconut. If you want to cut back on some of the sweetness, you can use unsweetened coconut.
- Cinnamon Chips: I know that these can sometimes be hard to find, and sometimes only available around Christmas. If you can’t find them, you can just use extra white chocolate chips.
- White Chocolate Chips: You could also sub in chopped white chocolate for the white chocolate chips.
How to Make these Oatmeal Cookies
WET INGREDIENTS: Beat the coconut oil with both sugars until fluffy and combined. Add in the eggs and the vanilla.
DRY INGREDIENTS: Combine the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt, then mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Add the coconut, cinnamon chips, and white chocolate chips and mix just until combined.
BAKE: Roll the dough into balls and bake just until the edges are turning golden brown.

I agree. Coconut oil is awesome! And for more than just cooking and baking. I use that stuff on everything!

“first time using coconut oil for cookies, and I am a total convert now” — good to know!
And yes, Jenny’s blog is one that I’ve been reading for years and I am so thrilled for her and the book. Matt did the photography as you know and like you, I wish there were more pics but we can’t have it all.
I actually just got a copy of her book a few days ago and am savoring each page!

I have not yet used coconut oil for cookies either, but this recipe looks like the perfect one for my first time trying it! I think it might be hard to eat just one of these…
